Preset Manual

The preset manual option is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for light
sources with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with
white balance settings like Auto and Incandes. (for example, to make images taken
under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light).
Follow the procedure below to measure the white balance value according to the
light source when shooting.

used during shooting.

for preset manual, tap Cancel.
